Which wasn't exactly the easiest, even if everything that had happened over the summer hadn't actually happened. "It was just kind of hard to get back to England after the summer and have people not talking to me. Or at least, not talking to me about what I wanted to know about." She knew Mari would know what she was trying to say, even if it didn't really make sense.

She did laugh a little at Mari's reassurance that she knew the accident had been as such. Knowing Mari believed her when she said it had been an accident was nice, but what with the other things she'd talked about with Robert out there, the idea of him burning the letter was hilarious to her. "I think it would have had to have been fire in a Muggle sense, because I think he would have been more likely to light himself on fire or something if he attempted to use a spell," she said, before she could stop herself. She had left him the opening to ask for help with spellwork when he had talked about being rubbish at it, and it wasn't her fault he hadn't taken it. As far as she knew.

Mari thought for a few moments, her brow furrowed as she did. She looked bothered because well she was. She sighed then. " I know. I really wish it had been easier for you," She said with her still slightly uncomfortable expression in place. She looked around and she sighed again. " Things are better between you two, right? I mean, it's gotten better yes?"She asked again, still feeling rather bad that she had made her friend's relationship with Robert all...strained and other such things.

Mari was glad that Elizabeth found her quip entertaining, even if she had meant it in a completely serious manner. " That's true. He can't do most charms to save his life, unfortunately." She said, something she would never understand. Charms came as naturally to Mari as...well, as breathing, she supposed with a little smirk. " Well, I guess it's good it's gone." She said finally, and with a relieved smile. She giggled then. " I'm sorry, I can just see Robert setting everything but the letter on fire because of how terrible he is at spellwork," She said, and then gave a little snort, which became another giggle and now she had the giggles, a full blown giggle fit indeed. She supposed it was the breaking down of all the awkwardness and finally, Mari felt like herself again.
